| Abstract | Image ldquo;appearance rdquo; may change over time due to a variety of causes such as: 1) object or camera motion; 2) generic photometric events including variations in illumination (e.g. shadows) and specular reflections; and 3) ldquo;iconic changes rdquo; which are specific to the objects being viewed and include complex occlusion events and changes in the material properties of the objects. We propose a general framework for representing and recovering these ldquo;appearance changes rdquo; in an image sequence as a ldquo;mixture rdquo; of different causes. The approach generalizes previous work on optical flow to provide a richer description of image events and more reliable estimates of image motion |
